I understand all of that and the turgid history.

I'll say it again: Go forth and implement the system that you say works so well. Just make sure you implement the whole system.

I will repeat my questions.

Dick and triadic: In the system you are advocating, will the equivalent of the area frequency in G and the default CTAF be the same frequency?

It's a yes or no answer.

triadic: In the current system, on what frequency would you advise someone to transmit a MAYDAY? Area or 126.7?

The 'general broadcast on Area' zephyr in a thimble relates only to aerodromes that are not depicted on charts. Everyone, including you and Dick, knows that the number of places and the number of movements by VHF carrying aircraft at these places is infinitessimally small.

That's why the fearmongering is so disgusting. It's something that I'd expect from the zealots in CASA AVMED, but not from experienced aviators.
